Correct way for (not) deploying RestEasy in JBoss 7.1 Apps?

[tim99]

Hi,

my servlet uses resteasy-jaxrs and resteasy-jaxb-provider, both in version 2.3.1.GA. I configured the POM to use them. I can deploy my servlet with both of them and it runs in JBoss 7.1.

However, as JBoss provides these modules, I would like to use the JBoss ones. When I mark both dependencies as "provided" in my Maven POM together with the following plugin, JBoss deploys the app:

<plugin>

      <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>

      <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>

      <configuration>

    <archive>

      <manifestEntries>

        <Dependencies>org.jboss.resteasy.resteasy-jaxrs</Dependencies>

        <Dependencies>org.jboss.resteasy.resteasy-jaxb-provider</Dependencies>

      </manifestEntries>

    </archive>

     </configuration>

</plugin>

However, at runtime, I get this error message:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jboss/resteasy/client/ClientRequest

I wonder why JBoss can't find it. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with my approach? Any help is greatly appreciated! Of course, I can provide more information about this case.

Thanks!

No ideas?

Your mvn config does not look right. Find a good example of how to add dependencies to as7 via maven.

An alternative way of doing this: create a file named jboss-deployment-structure.xml under web-inf and put in it your depenendencies. What I use:

<jboss-deployment-structure>

   <deployment>

<!--               <exclusions> -->

<!--               </exclusions>  -->

              <dependencies>

                <module name="org.apache.commons.collections" />

                <module name="org.apache.commons.codec" />

                <module name="org.codehaus.jackson.jackson-mapper-asl" />

                <module name="org.codehaus.jackson.jackson-core-asl" />

                <module name="org.jboss.resteasy.resteasy-jaxrs" />

                       <module name="org.jboss.logging" />

                      <module name="org.jboss.logmanager" />

                      <module name="org.apache.httpcomponents" />

              </dependencies>

    </deployment>  

</jboss-deployment-structure>
